Abstract

Amiodarone-induced chemical, sterile epididymitis has previously been reported. We present 2 cases who were on amiodarone therapy for refractory cardiac arrhythmia. Recognition of this side effect and treatment by lower drug dosage can prevent unnecessary antibiotic therapy and invasive urological procedures.
